There you have it. Twenty-six songs that remind me what a beautiful journey “that long walk” can be.

The process of creating this mix was almost like a metaphor for love itself. It was far from easy. Things fell apart a few times, resulting in a missing piece or two. I got aggravated and frustrated. I gave up on it. But someone with a little more patience than me, who is stronger in areas where I am weak, pushed on through and got it done. And from where I’m sitting, it all turned out good in the end.

For that, I am thankful.

I’ve learned song selection is fairly simple for someone who loves and knows music like I do. However putting it together is not an easy task. At all. Shout out to all the mixologists out there that can do this with their eyes closed. Special shout-out to my collaborator and my Valentine, “Lord Divyne” of EvahLution Soundz.
